I love him your honor. (coming next shop update).
Play Fate/Stay Night because it’s a great way to understand this franchise. Play Fate/Stay Night so you too can see that yes, Artoria as she appears in Fate/Grand Order really has learned from the events of Fate/Stay Night. Play Fate/Stay Night to see four children eventually tell the horrid and toxic legacies they are wounded by to get fucked.
But mostly, play Fate/Stay Night because it’s a wonderful tale that will cradle and rend your heart in equal measure, sometimes both at once. Especially both at once.
au where kieran actually gets to be happy
the first thing you'll realise about Fate/stay night is that it's kind of stupid. you realise this when someone recommends it to you and explains the premise
what makes this realisation funny is that, after you've read it, you will forget this realisation entirely. you will begin to recommend it to a friend with all the sincerity someone deeply emotionally touched by a work can muster, at which point you'll realise how you sound
because at its core, Fate/stay night is one of the most sickeningly sincere manifestos about love and idealism ever written, but it's also a story about going on dates with genderbent king arthur and being the bone of your sword. you can't have one without the other
I’m not tough enough to avert my gaze and ignore them. Then again, neither am I so cocky as to set my sights on becoming their competition. Maybe I just never know when to give up, or maybe this is me refusing to discover the limits of my own abilities. I’m stuck between my inability to run away or to square off—something I find utterly pathetic about myself. “What? Don’t let it knock the stuffing out of you, Kadoc. Feeling inferior to geniuses count as some talent in itself. To actually keep yourself motivated in the face of cruel reality is what I consider the talent of the ordinary. Pathetic? Hardly. Unrelenting is the word you’re looking for. I’m speaking from experience when I say you folks do a better job at surviving than geniuses. I know all too well because of my line of work!" Only on that day did the cheery chatter of my big brother figure, as he likes to call himself, strike a chord with me. He’s right. I don’t have any talents or titles or achievements of great renown. But even if I have nothing to be proud of, that doesn’t mean I should let myself lose heart. I am my own person. I can never be someone else. So no matter how out of place I may feel, I’ll put up a fight until my final breath.
Don't forget
